Sherm Feller Belongs in The Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame

Sherm Feller was the greatest ballpark announcer in Red Sox history. Sherm’s famous “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Fenway Park” is still used on TV , radio, and all over the internet. Sherm’s induction into The Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame is long overdue. Please sign this petition to be sent to The BoSox, The Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame Committee, Dick Bresciani, Boston Red Sox Historian, and creator of the Red Sox H.O.F..

I am not an old fogey but I grew up with Sherm and John Kiley at Fenway... why the current management, announcer(s), organist, and in-game program people feel the need to pander to the lowest common denominator is beyond me... it is a source of sadness and a reason I seldom attend a game nowadays. If I want to hear hyperamplified hip-hop, lounge-quality organ music, and carnival-barker PA work I have plenty of other options and none of this tripe should be part of the Fenway gameday experience, especially insofar as they are promoting Fenway as the big tourist attraction. Since they are unlikely to change this entire programme, at least indict Sherm into the RSHOF as a sop to us (young) fogeys... at least you might get us into the ballpark for his induction ceremony...
